Isabel Toledo: Echoes and Vibrations

A life shared in the joy of creation. A love story for the ages. Renowned artist and fashion illustrator Ruben Toledo remembers his wife, muse, and collaborator — global superstar fashion designer and style icon Isabel Toledo — in a tender, sizzling homage to her divine genius. Witness the Toledos’ ascent to the height of their careers, when First Lady Michelle Obama wore a lemongrass Isabel Toledo ensemble to President Obama’s inauguration in 2009, catapulting the designer to global recognition and acclaim. Marvel at the potential for creative renewal among the depths of grief as Ruben reflects on Isabel’s untimely death in 2019 — and cheer as he perseveres in his life’s dedication to amplifying her work and ensuring her legacy will never be forgotten.
